Taking Time Out is Juzzie Smith's 3rd album and follows on from the breakout success of his 2007 album Happy Daze. Both albums mark the journey of this virtuoso music man's quest to find integrity, love and balance in his art and life. As a young father and tired of smoke-filled late nights on the pub circuit Juzzie made a conscious decision to take his music to the people and the streets, by busking mostly at local markets on NSW north coast. Each time he played, the crowds got bigger. He has gone on to become a true grassroots phenomenon, selling thousands of CDs, and is now a festival circuit favourite, loved for his energetic and awe-inspiring live performances
